Walk down the hill
As he walked towards the dressing room, after guiding India to victory against SA in the crucial tie at Mumbai , Rahul Dravid stopped, turned around, and applauded the wonderful Mumbai crowd.
That, my friend, is the difference between an emotional guy like Chappell and a cool, calculating guy like Dravid. While Chappell got rammed for showing a finger to the morons, Dravid won a million hearts and made the morons of Kolkata feel like dirt, at once.
That reminds me of a story I read some where. A bull and his son were grazing on a hillock. The son spotted a bunch of cows grazing downhill. 'Dad, shall I run down the hill and ***k a cow?' the hot blooded calf asked the bull. The bull lifted his head from the grass, paused, shook his head slowly, and said, 'No son. Walk down the hill. ***k them all.' Add to:del.icio.us| Digg| Reddit| StumbleUpon| Technorati

Both were reactions to the crowd's behaviour. How do you differentiate one from the other. I heard Rahul Dravid gave an Oscar speech at the presentation ceremony. I don't know how you would classify that.
I say the father bull was Ganguly and in the end got humped by the calf that it raised (Chappell ). It was Ganguly who sought Chappell's advice and later wanted as manager.
Intepretations differ my friend, hence the different reactions between the Mumbai and Bengal crowd. Crowd (mob) is gullible and it will follow the leader. That is why we collectively refer the individuals who make up the crowd. Read Julius Caesar and you will understand what I say.
So, don't blame the people of Bengal for they are merely being led.
